Bug Description
ubuntu 18.04 fresh installation
cifs-utils 2:6.4-1ubuntu1
mount.cifs fails when the option sec=krb5 is given.
The error message "No such file or directory" is not very helpful.
After searching for some time for the reason, I found the /sbin/request-key program was missing, so cifs.upcall was not called and no kerberos key could be loaded. Installing the keyutils package fixes the problem.
Please add a dependency on keyutils to the package cifs-utils.
This is a duplicate of bug #1734700 in ubuntu 17.10 - but still present in 18.04
Bug #1772148 also needs keyutils installed when cifs-utils is installed.

Thanks for the solution, this was no fun to debug on multiple servers.
